Moms Icing Bros
When we got together with my family for Mother's Day, the topic of bros icing bros came up. We all had a good laugh over the concept. Then when we went to Ohio, the topic came up again a few more times. Even so, when we walked into my parents' house this past weekend and my sweet, little mom immediately held a room-temperature raspberry-flavored Smirnoff Ice in front of Pat, it was shocking. Pat didn't skip a beat, though. He nodded, popped open the top, went down on one knee, and pounded it before I could say, "Wait, let me take one more picture where you're not backlit!"
Unlike a lot of icings I've seen online, there was no ballyhooing. Pat is a really good sport. If you know Pat, then you know this is true. Pat is as cool as, well, Coolio. Nay, he's cooler.
Frankly, I think he enjoyed it.
Don't mind the fact that there is a 4 year old in this shot. (Don't worry, we told her it was "daddy's medicine," so it's okay.)
And since this blog has taken a rather unclassy turn, I'll go ahead and post a recent picture I took of moldy fruit. You heard me. We keep a container on the counter for stuff that we collect that needs to go to the compost bin. It's sort of like purgatory for produce. Anyway, I put some past-their-prime raspberries in there, and the next day I opened it up and found a bunch of bearded raspberries. I thought they were very pretty. Here is Sir Admiral of Berryton.
Good day, sir!

#1 No Iceing
Don't even think of it this Sat. I will not drink that Sh#*. You'd be better off "Urineing" me.
#2 Were you aware that there is
Were you aware that there is a book called “Redneck Haiku?” I discovered this yesterday at Barnes and Nobel. Further, the copy that I picked up is apparently the second volume of the astounding work (volume two is actually called the “Double-wide Edition.” A sampling, for your entertainment:
Clyde says hi to girls
By hitting pickup door and
Howling like a dog
Jake resents spending
More on wife’s steel toed shoes than
On his cowboy boots
Snappy wrist action
Makes Bubba the champion
Of Roadkill Frisbee
Bobby’s roadside stand
Sells sweet cider to tourists
Locals get hard stuff
This stuff is actually so popular that there are TWO of these books. I have no idea what this country is coming to.
#3 I love you- thanks for making
I love you- thanks for making me laugh!
#4 But
the question burning in my heart is did Pat enjoy the Ice?
#5 Ah, yes, I've heard of the
Ah, yes, I've heard of the ice block. I read one article where I think it was the CEO of College Humor now keeps a Smirnoff in a fanny pack on him at all times. So if you don't want to get a bigger messenger bag and feel the need to have a Smirnoff on you at all time, a fanny pack may be the way to go. PS - There is gluten-free Smirnoff! How nice for you, since I don't think the bros icing bros authorities have any sort of stipulation in their rules about if you have celiac disease and you are called to duty you can deny their malted goodness and avoid shame.
#6 ice ice baby
i thought I was in the clear until one of my co-workers managed to find a malt-free (gluten-free) version of Smirnoff. BUT (good news) i just found out that you can ICE BLOCK someone by presenting the "icer" with a smirnoff of your own, thus reversing the original request! genius!
I think I'm going to need a bigger messenger bag.
